Vintage 1960s Handmade Blue Paisley Stripe Mini Dress
A lovely handmade vintage mini dress in pale blue and cream, featuring alternating vertical stripes and intricate paisley-inspired patterns. The contrasting panels give it a wonderfully graphic look, while a pointed collar, short sleeves and a decorative jewelled flower brooch add to its character.
The relaxed, straight-cut silhouette has a distinctly 1960s feel, making it a great statement piece for anyone drawn to the era's playful prints and mod-inspired shapes. Finished with a zip and hook-and-eye fastening at the back.
